Statement, facts or opinion appearing in this seminar proceeding are solely those of the presenters/authors/researchers and do not imply endorsement by editors, publisher or National Defence College, Bangladesh. 4 Foreword Non -Traditional security issues are challenges to the survival and wellbeing of people and states. These issues primarily arise out of climate change, resource scarcity, diseases, natural disaster, irregular migration, food shortage, human and drug trafficking, transnational crimes, etc. causing security complexity and conflict. Again migration is also treated as one of the Non- Traditional security threat and is interlaced with other security issues one resulting from another. For example- environmental insecurity compels people to migrate and migration host community may feel insecure. Bangladesh is the most vulnerable nations to Climate Change (CC) ranking seven among the most severely affected countries globally. CC has already impacted several non-traditional security areas including food, water, health and migration in Bangladesh. Therefore, Bangladesh would need to prepare for long-term adaptation strategy identifying all present vulnerabilities and future opportunities, adjusting priorities and trade policies in the agricultural sector while promoting training and education throughout the masses in all possible spheres. Climate Change is a phenomena that has multifarious security implications across the globe. Again Non-Traditional Security issues like migration cause societal and political instability and hence become threats to security. These threats are often transnational that goes beyond national boundary and remedies also call for collective efforts. National solutions are often inadequate and would essentially require regional and multilateral cooperation. It is my pleasure to pen this foreword for “Non -Traditional Security Challenges in a Globalized World: A Common Strategy for Developing Countries”. I would like to thank the faculty members and college staff for their tireless effort in organizing the seminar and making it a success. Finally I appreciate the sincere efforts of the Research and Academic Wing and acknowledge the solemn endeavor of the editorial board to bring out the seminar paper. Lieutenant General Sheikh Mamun Khaled, SUP, rcds, psc, PhD Commandant National Defence College 5 Editorial Non-Traditional Security threats were added to the human security agenda after the Cold War. Energy, food, water, climate change, environment security, economic security, social issues etc. are in a nexus among the well-known Non-Traditional Security threats. Climate change is one of the most serious national security threats that will have significant impacts on natural and coastal resources, ecosystem, human health and settlements and thus affect human wellbeing. At the same time, it is likely to influence large scale human migration and economic and social depression over scarce natural resources leading the political systems of greater uncertainty. Climate change and forced migration have been particularly key areas of concern to global community in recent years. Therefore, a shift from the exclusive stress on territorial security to focusing on people’s security and instead of seeking security through armaments to gaining security through sustainable development is the demand of time. In fine, I must convey sincere thanks and deep felicitation to all concerned who endeavored and co-operated in enriching the paper with their invaluable efforts and delicate suggestions. Moreover, I would like to thank “Editorial Board” for their relentless support and assistance to publish this paper. I promise to continue this effort to bring more diverse and newer topic for the readers in future.

This study explores the nature and impact of that movement, and its continuing legacy for Bengalis in Britain, especially in Tower Hamlets where so many of them live. It looks at the different backgrounds and politics of those who took part, how the war brought them together and politicised new layers, and how the dictates of ‘popular frontism’ and revolutionary ‘stages theory’ allowed the radical socialism of the intellectual leadership to become subsumed by nationalism.

  • Standing Orders Disaster
    Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Standing Orders on Disaster Ministry of Food and Disaster Management Disaster Management & Relief Division Disaster Management Bureau April 2010 Message I welcome the initiative of the Disaster Management Bureau (DMB) to publish the revised Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) aiming at ensuring every possible preparedness measure and reducing disaster risks. The SOD was first introduced in 1997 during our previous tenure in office. We are happy that the revised version of the SOD is being published now in accordance with the changed circumstances. The revised SOD has reflected the vision of the government and clearly outlines the role and responsibilities of the ministries, divisions, agencies, organizations, committees, public representatives and citizens to cope with any natural disaster. I hope that the DMB and Disaster Management and Relief Division in cooperation with other stakeholders will materialize the government commitments for disaster risk reduction and emergency response issues in line with SOD. The SOD, I believe, will play an important role in disaster management and disaster risk reduction in the country. Joi Bangla, Joi Bangabandhu May Bangladesh Live Forever Sheikh Hasina ii FOREWORD Bangladesh is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. The country has had a long experience of severe cyclonic events, floods, landslides, arsenic poisoning, tornadoes, and is under threat from earthquakes. The country is also highly vulnerable to climate change, which is also threat for livelihoods and food security. Government of Bangladesh has had the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) in effect since 1997. Considering the adverse impact of climate change and the recommendation of the World Conference on Disaster Reduction 2005, the updating of the SOD was essential.
